    God has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what He has done from beginning to end. Ecclesiastes 3:11. Life is not a race, jockeying for fist place. Yet it is a deliberate journey.

    There is a right time for everything. In order for things to work the way God has intended, we must sometimes wait. As a baby is being formed in the mother’s womb, it takes time to perfect this God given creation. As a baby approaches his/her toddler years the skeletal system and muscles are ...read more
